(this letter was sent home with students on April 26th)

Dear Parent/Guardian of a Graduating Student,

We are looking forward with pleasure and planning the celebration of your child’s graduation this year!The Commencement Ceremony will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, June 28, here in our auditorium. Graduating students are asked to arrive at school by 8:45 a.m. The doors will be opened for guests at 9:15 a.m. We are anticipating a joyful event!

The cost of commencement per student is $30, due in cash by June 14th (exact change please). This covers the cost of dry cleaning the robes, the decorations, food, technology, chair rentals, as well as allowing each student to keep his/her mortar board.

Each graduate will be issued 3 tickets for the event: 2 seats in the auditorium and 1 seat in the gymnasium where the proceedings will be displayed on two large projection screens. If you do not need all 3 tickets, please let the office know. Conversely, if you need more than 3 tickets, please tell us and we will put your request on a waiting list for extra seats. The 3 tickets will be assigned after the commencement fee has been paid to the school and can be picked up in June. Please don’t lose your tickets as they cannot be replaced.

Parking permits will be available in the main office to extend the time for street parking allowing you to park from 8:00 am to 1:30 pm in areas marked in the vicinity of the school. These can be picked up in the office when you receive your tickets.

There will be opportunities for picture taking after the ceremony, as well as light snacks and beverages to share as our students and their parents join one final time to celebrate their success – and for you to bask in the pride for your child!

If you have accessibility needs, either for parking, elevator use or seating, please let us know in the main office as soon as possible.

I look forward to seeing you here at school on June 28.

Sincerely,

France Thibault

Principal

Helmet Discounts across the city!

Ottawa Public Health is partnering with 23 local retailers to offer great discounts on helmets across the city for June 1 and 2. For more information and the full list of participating retailers, visit http://www.adoptahelmet.com

Before buying a helmet, ensure that you are purchasing the proper style of helmet for the activity and use the 2V1 rule:

2: Ensure your helmet sits level and square on your head, and the front is two fingers distance from the helmet to eyebrows.

V: Adjust the straps to meet just below the ear in a V shape, and fasten comfortably

1: Allow only one figure to fit between the chin strap and the chin, so your helmet fits snug.
